7.1.1 Phenolics
In general, phenolics are used because of their relatively low cost. In addition,
phenolics are available in a variety of colors (Figure 7
-
8).

Phenolic resins are available in a variety of colors.
TIP:
Use different color phenolics to color code jobs, specimens types, or for different
testing dates. For example, changing the phenolic color each month will show which
samples or jobs are getting old.
TIP:
If the color dye in the mount bleeds out when rinsing with an alcohol, this is an
indication that the mount was not cured either at a high enough temperature or for the
proper length of time (see Figure 7
-
9).

Insufficient curing of phenolic resin causes alcohol to dissolve the dye.
